Grammatophyllum elegans

[elitebettas]

Hey Guys,
Okay, I purchased a Grammatophyllum elegans very recently, had it now for about 3 days. I have NO idea how to take care for this plant. It was in a very small pot (pictured) below when I got it. Immediately I repotted it in a 6 inch wooden basket with a bark, charcoal, perlite mix (that red netting is to keep the mix in the basket), cut off a yellowing leaf possibly from stress of shipping and acclimation, and hung it to get good afternoon light. One psuedobulb is starting to shrivel slightly but the new growth it came with seems to be growing slowly but steadily. Any pics of your plants and how you grow them would be greatly APPRECIATED, thanks so much

remove the net, you have almost the same environment as mine. dont put any media
with the root . It will cost root rot. Grow it under shade about 4000 foot candle.
Give it lots of air movement (wind) and water twice a day.
Having said that, MTR and me stay in the same area. However he has different environment
from me. He is close to the hilly area where it is cool and wet. My area is hot and dry even
through we are just miles apart.You have to the judge how are u are going to take care
of the plant.
